A model of acceleration of Anomalous Cosmic Rays by Reconnection in the Heliosheath
A. Lazarian, M. Opher
We discuss a model of cosmic ray acceleration that accounts for the observations of anomalous cosmic rays by Voyager 1 and 2. The model appeals to fast magnetic reconnection rather…
Properties and selected implications of magnetic turbulence for interstellar medium, Local Bubble and solar wind
A. Lazarian, A. Beresnyak, H. Yan +2
Astrophysical fluids, including interstellar and interplanetary medium, are magnetized and turbulent. Their appearance, evolution, and overall properties are determined by the magn…
Three-Dimensional MHD Simulation of the 2003 October 28 Coronal Mass Ejection: Comparison with LASCO Coronagraph Observations
Ward Manchester, Angelos Vourlidas, Gabor Toth +6
We numerically model the coronal mass ejection (CME) event of October 28, 2003 that erupted from active region 10486 and propagated to Earth in less than 20 hours causing severe ge…
Global Asymmetry of the Heliosphere
Merav Opher, Edward C. Stone, Paulett C. Liewer +1
Opher et al. 2006 showed that an interstellar magnetic field parallel to the plane defined by the deflection of interstellar hydrogen atoms can produce a north/south asymmetry in t…
Magnetic Effects Change Our View of the Heliosheath
M. Opher, P. C. Liewer, M. Velli +5
There is currently a controversy as to whether Voyager 1 has already crossed the Termination Shock, the first boundary of the Heliosphere. The region between the Termination Shock…
Magnetic Effects at the Edge of the Solar System: MHD Instabilities, the de Laval nozzle Effect and an Extended Jet
M. Opher, P. C. Liewer, M. Velli +6
To model the interaction between the solar wind and the interstellar wind, magnetic fields must be included. Recently Opher et al. 2003 found that, by including the solar magnetic…
